Twitch & Sony Partner For Australian First Youth Cancer Charity Stream

Twitch & Sony Partner For Australian First Youth Cancer Charity Stream

Twitch and Sony are coming together to support Youth Cancer in a charity stream to be held on April 29th through to the 30th. In a first for Australia, Twitch has partnered with the charity arm of Sony to host a 30 hour livestream fundraiser to support the Youth Cancer program “You Can”.

Since its inception, You Can has committed almost $5 million to building ‘You Can’ youth cancer centres in Australia for young patients aged 15 – 25. Too old for children’s hospitals yet too young for adult wards, these young patients are a ‘forgotten generation’ falling through the gaps in the medical system.  This year alone, over 1000 young patients will be diagnosed with cancer in Australia and these Centres will provide age-appropriate treatment and care alongside peers their own age which has proven vital to improved survival rates.

The marathon stream, commencing 29th April, hosted by some of Australia’s favourite Twitch streamers including Loserfruit, Bajo, Deligracy and JamesTurnerYT with special guest appearances from Sony Music artists and avid gamers such as Alan Walker, Cyrus and LDRU – more will be announced in the days to come.
